Chapter 251: First Life, Alice. (18)
Springton.

There was no way out.
For Theodore anyway. He had come all the way to the Castle of Fire and now he was about to get burnt body and bone or sliced through the heart by a sword of an a castle guard or two.
The seconds ticked and he could only wonder if the next would be his last as the guards continue to watch his every move, swords in trembling hands as they prepare to carry out the orders of their king. Capture or kill.
"Surrender your weapon" a guard spoke as he dared take a step toward where Theodore and Alice had been previously conversing. He seemed to be about the same size and height of the prince of the Firseria but was definitely some years older.
"What do you think you are doing?" Alice asked, her voice firm and commanding respect.
"Your highness move away from him" one of the guards advised, "His majesty has ordered for a capture or kill on the prince of Firseria"
"How do you know that this is him? I implore you to leave immediately, he is my guest" as she said this she has moved to his front, an attempt to protect Theodore but he was taller and bulkier.
"We apologize but we are under the kings reign" the second guard retorted.
Theodore studied the guard who had come to arrest him, calm and silent. His composure was not deterred by a promise of impending doom as he continued to watch the Springton guard. His eyes were on the guard while his thoughts were on Alice.
